The police officers escorted Eleanor toward the private elevator down to the garage level.
She turned her head back one last time to glare at David with bitterness.
Eleanor: You will never be able to run this company without my management team!
David: I will rebuild this company with honest people who care about integrity.
David turned his back on her completely and focused his full attention on his kids.
Lily was sitting quietly on the leather couch holding a small cup of orange juice.
Her baby brother had finally fallen fast asleep inside his warm blue cotton blanket.
David: How are your legs feeling now, Lily?
Lily: They do not hurt so much when you are holding my hand, Daddy.
David: You were so brave today looking after your little brother like that.
Lily: I remembered what you told me about protecting family no matter what happens.
David felt tears rise in his eyes as he pulled his small daughter into his arms.
He realized how close he had come to losing everything that truly mattered to him.
The money and corporate titles were nothing compared to the safety of his two children.
Marcus walked over and placed a supportive hand on David's shoulder with a quiet smile.
Marcus: The trust assets are completely secure and blocked from any further access.
David: Thank you, Marcus, for acting so quickly when I called you.
Marcus: Your father would be very proud of how you handled this crisis today.
David: I just want to take my kids home and make them a warm dinner.
Marcus: Go home, David, I will manage the legal filings with the police department.
David picked up baby Sammy in his left arm and held Lily's small hand in his right.
They walked together down the long white hallway toward the bright glass front exit doors.
The afternoon sunlight poured into the lobby casting warm golden light across the marble floor.
